HOWTO: Changing Alternator in a 2012 Passat with the 2.5 5Cyl

Today we change the alternator in a 2012 Volkswagen Passat 2.5. This includes some good tricks that you may not find in other videos that will really help. If you are going to attempt this yourself just take your time and reference this guide.

This likely is a very similar process for the 2.5 Jettas, and other Passat models. If I recall correctly the procedure is very similar for the MK4 Cars like the Jetta TDI with the ALH.
